The conference was founded in 2005. CarolinaCon has since focused on presenting educational materials from a variety of guest speakers on various aspects of computing, technology, and information security. It is currently run by the 501(c)3 non-profit organization The Carolinacon Group.

The event generally officially closes with a game of Hacker Trivia. For those that have missed prior years, we’ve archived each site so visitors can see the previous years sites, speakers and archived info.
